Atomic Force Microscopy

By Tom Vendelbo: 26.02.07 in Cell & Molecular Biology

The book “Atomic Force Microscopy” describes the emerging microscopic method for biologists which offer the magnification range of both the light and electron microscope, but allow imaging under the ‘natural’ conditions usually associated with the light microscope.

From the book description:

To biologists AFM offers the prospect of high resolution images of biological material, images of molecules and their interactions even under physiological conditions, and the study of molecular processes in living systems. This book provides a realistic appreciation of the advantages and limitations of the technique and the present and future potential for improving the understanding of biological systems.
